Pier 21, Immigration museum in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada
The Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21 occupies a former passenger terminal building situated along the Halifax waterfront beside the railway station.
From 1928 to 1971, Pier 21 processed over one million immigrants, refugees, war brides, and displaced persons entering Canada through its immigration facilities.
The museum exhibits document personal narratives, photographs, and artifacts that demonstrate the impact of immigration on Canadian demographics and societal development.
Located at 1055 Marginal Road in Halifax, the museum offers guided tours, research facilities, and educational programs about immigration history throughout the year.
A fire in 1944 required partial reconstruction of the building, resulting in modernized immigration processing areas that remain visible in the current structure.
